Re: Is the qualification match robot randomizer really "random"
With 41 regional competitions, it's going to happen that sometimes the best bots end up with and against each other consistently. The schedule generator takes a lot of factors into consideration, but robot ability is most definitely not one of them.
But yes, this year in Philadelphia it seemed that there was not a lot of parity in the schedule. The proof is in the pudding: the better robot were selected for the finals, including some with poor qualification records because of who they had to play against. Yet several top 20 seeds missed the playoffs altogether. The scheduler doesn't have to be "rigged" in order to generate a match list without robot parity. |
